BBC Radio 4 - File on 4, Who Killed Emma?

Why, ten years on, does one of the biggest murder cases in Scotland remain unsolved?

It is ten years since police mounted one of Scotland's biggest murder inquiries. Despite arrests, the case never made it to court and remains unsolved. Eamon O Connor investigates.

Emma Caldwell was a young woman from a good home who developed an addiction to heroin after the death of her sister and then descended into street prostitution. When her body was found dumped in a ditch in Lanarkshire in May 2005, the police launched an unprecedented murder hunt. But ten years on, after an investigation costing millions of pounds, no one has ever been convicted of her killing. Eamon O Connor investigates what went wrong.
Producer: Ian Muir-Cochrane.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
